Help cutting heat transfer vinyl

Recommended Posts

I am new to the heat transfer vinyl. I recently purchased a titan 53". I cant get heat transfer vinyl to cut right for me. Can some please give me some advice. What blade should I use I am trying to cut  sissier glitter and holograph. I can not see the cut marks on the black holograph to try to weed.  The cutting is it and miss. I have had no trouble cutting regular vinyl.

Add more blade and more pressure for the glitter (I generally double both for what I cut calendered vinyl). I haven't tried holograph, but I have some on hand.

I'd recommend getting several blade holders. Use a separate holder/blade for different types of material. The thicker material will dull your blade faster, then when you go to cut regular vinyl your pressure setting might be off. I have 5 blade holders, each with a 60 degree clean cut blade.
